The brush-sections ere held against twisting or torsional strains by the construction shown, the collar G and its lugs preventing twisting of the rod and the rod by reason of lseti brus from twisting. Bros 1 I being sustained at both ends has no tendency to twist, While the links M and O and the pivo tal connection of the other ends of brushes L and N preventsaid brushes from twisting.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim isl. In combination with s supporting meniber, a spring mounted therein; a. rod extend ing into the supporting member, bearing the outer end of the rod; r. long side brush ',pivotally connected et one end to one end of said bottom brush and et its opposite end to lfhe supportinQ` member; a short brush pivot (l to the opposite end oi' the bottom brush; a link connecting the other end of said short brush to the rod e. second short brush pivotslly connected to the upper end of the su porting member; end s link connecting tl'ie outei` end of seid second short brush to the rod.

2. In combination with e supporting member; a rod; a spring for rejecting seid rod; a, long side brush pivotel y connected at one end to the su porting member; s short side brush 'pivotal y connected to seid member; e bottom brush ivotelly connected to the end of the rod an to the upper end of the long brush; a second short side brush pivotelly connected to the bottom brush; and ineens for throwing seid short 'side brushes out into alinement with eachother when the other brushes are brought into operative position.

3. In combination with e suonortinv inember; s spring-projected rod carried. therebyj s brush pivoted et one end to said supporting member; and a. second brush ivoted et substentielly its mid-length to t e outer end of the rod and likewise connected at one end to the outer end of the first-mentioned brush.

4. In combination with a supporting member; s spring-projected rod carried thereby, the outer end of said rod being curved to one side; a brush pivoted at one end to the supporting member; e second brush provided with sn o ening into which the curved end of the ro passes; a pivotal connection between said rod and brush; and n pivotal connection between the adjacent ends of the brushes.

5. In combination with a. hollow support ing; member provided et its up er end with s psir of oppositely-dis osed s ots; s spring mounted in said mem er; s rod bearing et one end on the spring: a coller carried by the rod and making e working fit with the inner face of the supporting member; fingers extending out from the collar into the slots in the supporting` member; s relatively long brush pivotally connected to seid member; e. brush pivotall connected at one end to the upper end of t e first brush and likewise connected at its mid-length to theupper end of the rod; a short brush pivotally connected to the other end oi said second brush; a. link ivotally connected to the opposite end of seid short brush end the rod; s second short brush pivoted to the upper end of the sup- 'porting member; and a link pivotally connected to the upper end of seid brush and the rod.

ln testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
